XBMC not uppercasing foreign characters - Hitcher - 2010-01-26

For some reason XBMC isn't changing any foreign characters that I've specifically tagged as uppercase even though the actual uppercase version of the said fonts exist in the font file.

In the screen shot below the left panel is using this code
PHP Code:
<label>ÀÁÂÃÄ</label
and the right is using this
PHP Code:
<label>[UPPERCASE]àáâãä[/UPPERCASE]</label

As you clearly see grave, acute, circumflex, tilde and umlaut aren't being uppercased like they should be.

Thanks.

There's about 12 trac tickets for this already. It's not going to happen until we get something like ICU, which is a non-trivial thing to do.

Your only option in the meantime is to do an uppercase only version of the font.

Sorry, didn't think to check there first.

I was hoping it was something simple and I wouldn't have to that but thanks anyway.

Hi Community,

I am currently having the same problem, but it seems to work or not work depending on which OS one runs.
